Police in Webuye East have detained a self-proclaimed clergyman after a horrifying discovery of human body parts in his car at a carwash located at Amazing Petrol Station in Masikhu market.

The suspect, identified as Levis Simiyu, a pastor at a local ministry in Ndivisi Ward, brought his Toyota Premio for a body wash at the bustling carwash earlier today.

The grisly find was made by a carwash attendant performing final touches on the vehicle’s boot, where he spotted a protruding human leg, partly burnt and resting atop other body parts.

"Police in Webuye East are holding for investigation a self-proclaimed clergyman in whose car were found human parts stashed in a carton, after he took it to a carwash located at Amazing petrol station in Bungoma's Masikhu market earlier today," DCI said in a statement.

The attendant immediately abandoned his task, triggering alarm. The petrol station manager inspected the box and confirmed the presence of the dismembered human parts.

She swiftly informed the police at Webuye station, who arrived just in time to prevent Simiyu from driving away.

Simiyu is currently in police custody, with the ongoing investigation. The recovered body parts have been transported to the Webuye County Hospital morgue for preservation and further analysis.

This disturbing incident has stalled services at the carwash and left the local community in shock, seeking answers and justice.

Authorities are urging anyone with information to come forward as they piece together the circumstances surrounding this disturbing event.
